                                     Financial Aid
         Financial Aid is intended to help students and their families pay for educational costs.
         NO student should hesitate to apply because of financial circumstances. Eighty percent
         of CLC Financial Aid applicants receive some type of financial assistance.

         TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID
         Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility
         for grants, loans and work-study.

                Grants - This money doesn’t need to be repaid usually.

                Loans - Funding you must repay along with interest.

                Work-study - Jobs both on and off campus.

                Scholarships - Students are responsible to apply for CLC Foundation and
                               outside scholarships.

         Use 2018 filed taxes for 2020-2021 FAFSA (Fall 2020 - Summer 2021).

         FINANCIAL AID STEPS:
         1. Create FSA ID at https://fsaid.ed.gov. Every dependent student & parent must have
            their own FSA ID.

         2. Complete the FAFSA at https://fafsa.ed.gov, use CLC’s code = 002339.
            Once submitted, it takes 5-7 business days before CLC receives your FAFSA results.

         3. The Dept. of Education will email a Student Aid Report (SAR) for your review. If you
            find an error, contact the CLC Financial Aid office.

         4. CLC will email you to verify that your file is complete OR to request additional
            information. READ thoroughly and return ALL requested information as soon as
            possible to keep your application from being delayed.

         5. The Award Notification informs you of eligible amounts for grants, loans, and
            workstudy based on credits per semester.

         6. If you plan to borrow loan money, remember to complete the loan application steps in
            E-Services as shown on page 10.

         Estimate how much financial aid you may qualify for at studentaid.ed.gov. This is only
         an estimate. You must complete the FAFSA to apply for financial aid.

Student Loans                                        Page 10

      Subsidized - Government pays the interest while you are in school.
      Unsubsidized - Interest is accruing while you are in school.
      Alternative - Loans from an outside lender.

                    Students must complete all requirements of the
 loan application steps found in E-Services for all subsidized and unsubsidized loans.

                                 SCHOLARSHIPS
CLC SCHOLARSHIPS

       Academic Suspension - If the student is not able to meet the academic requirements at the
                 end of the following semester, they are suspended, and will need to appeal to continue
                 in their program of study.
       Academic Probation - If a student’s appeal is accepted, they are place on probation until they
                 are able to reach the academic requirements.

Add/Drop/Withdraw Policy:
Add/Drop/Withdraw dates are specific to each course and listed in E-Services in the course’s full
description.

Free Add/Drop Period:
For most courses, you will have the first five days of the semester to freely add and/or drop one or all
of the courses you have registered for.

Withdraw:
After the Free Add/Drop Period, withdrawing from a course will affect the completion rate, but not the
GPA. A Withdraw (W grade) will be noted on your transcript. Withdrawing could affect your financial
aid, so please see an advisor before you withdraw from any course!

     Partial Withdraw - Withdrawing from some, not all, of your courses. You will be responsible for
                full payment for the course(s) you withdrew from.

     Total Withdraw - Withdrawing from all courses at the same time. Please see an advisor first to
                determine how this will affect your academic and financial standing.

Failure for Non-Attendance (FN) or Unofficial Withdraw (FW) Policy:
An FN or FW grade will be noted on your transcript, and will not affect your GPA but will affect your
completion rate.

       FN - At the end of week one for most classes, instructors are required to report if you
               never attend class and will award you an FN grade. You will not receive any financial
               aid for an FN grade.

       FW - If you have stopped attending, instructors will withdraw you from the course, and
               you will receive an FW grade. You may have to repay the financial aid dollars received
               for the FW course(s).

                   We highly recommend you attend class, after all you are paying for it!

year majors; however, some baccalaureate majors may require specific pre-major courses
as part of the degree program.

Associate of Fine Arts (A.F.A.) Degree. Two-year program designed for transfer into a
specific four-year major and will likely require completing additional general education
courses at a university.

Associate of Science (A.S.) Degree. Two-year program designed for transfer into a
specific four-year major and will likely require completing additional general education
courses at a university.

Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree. Two-year program designed for entry

individual colleges and universities may accept these courses.

Diplomas & Certificates. Industry-driven and defined programming designed for
immediate entry into the workplace. These are not designed to transfer.

Transfer Pathway. Transfer Pathways allow you to complete a specific associate degree
and transfer to any of the seven Minnesota State Universities. When you complete a
Transfer Pathway degree at CLC and are admitted to a state university, you will be
guaranteed junior status and given assurance that all 60 college credits will count toward
the related bachelor’s degree.
